KAI ou-de-EIS BAL-lei OI-non NE-on eis as-KOUS pa-la-IOUS ei de MÊ HRÊ-ksei ho OI-nos tous as-KOUS KAI ho OI-nos a-POL-ly-tai KAI hoi as-KOI al-LA OI-non NE-on eis as-KOUS kai-NOUS
Exegesis
The object oinon neon {οἶνον νέον | oî-non né-on} ‘new wine’ precedes the locative phrase eis askous palaious {εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς | eis as-koùs pa-lai-ioús} ‘into old wineskins’, creating a thematic contrast.
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} introduces the corrective ellipsis in oinon neon eis askous kainous {οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινούς | oî-non né-on eis as-koùs kai-noús}, balancing the form and content by pairing new wine with new wineskins.

In context — Mark 2:22
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins ; otherwise, the wine will burst the wineskins and the wine is destroyed , and the skins are lost as well; but new wine belongs in new wineskins.
